Programme of Ecumenical Accompaniment in Colombia

In years of conflict Colombia has seen five million people displaced, 60,000 declared as “missing”, thousands killed, and a million hectares of land snatched away from the rightful owners. Dr Marcelo Schneider addresses the justice that is bound up with peace in a troubled land, and sets the scene for the work of the the Programme of Ecumenical Accompaniment in Colombia (PEAC), inspired by the WCC’s Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel.
